Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. This is your five-minute commute of prayer, quick fired moments of faith, to carry us through the rest
of the day. If these prayers are blessing you, please tap the following button on Apple, Spotify, Buzz Sprout, and just leave us just a quick short review.

on, we're straight in. I'm gonna pray for hope and encouragement for the day. Wherever you are, whatever your name is, I've got to tell you that God loves you, whatever your name is, wherever you live, whatever town, whatever city, whatever tribe, whatever tongue, there is power over your life because we're praying for hope. Don't you ever give up, don't you ever give up. I want to encourage you today, and I want you to encourage me. Doesn't matter how we feel emotionally, doesn't matter how we are looking at the world. Come on, we got to rise in prayer today. Thank you for joining me, my brothers and sisters, on this daily devotional prayer time. As we lock down, we're gonna get on the field of life, we're gonna scrum down together. And wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the bus stop, from the bus stop to the treadmill of life, God is with us. There is hope today as you go to work. There is hope with you today as you're on the school run. There is hope wherever you
are, and we are gonna encourage one another. Come on, let's lock in, Father, in the name of Jesus. We believe. We believe in the power of prayer and this global time together. As we lock down, Father, we believe that these hope-based scriptures, Isaiah 40, verse 31, dear God, is gonna lift us. Oh my Jesus. Father, come, Lord. We need strength, dear God. We need renewal and we need encouragement, dear God, as human beings. And Father, we pray today. Father, we thank you for the word of God because the word of God is our hope. The word of God is our encouragement, the word of God is our strength. Lord, and we believe, dear God, that you are renewing confidence for the day that lies ahead. I pray for those that are worried about their jobs, those that are worried about their health, their family, their children, their relationships. Father, I pray for those that are worried. Just generally, Lord, I pray for those that have got anxious thoughts, those that have got social anxiety, those that are carrying fear, doubt, whatever it may be. Lord, we come against that today. And Lord, we thank you that hope is so loud in our lives. And Lord, wherever we are crisscrossing the globe, from Lagos, dear God, to London, from Chicago to Dubai, Father God, from Melbourne, dear God, all the way through to Afghanistan, Spirit of the Living God, we pray at
this hour. Lord, we kick the duvet off. We get out of the bed and we say, Hallelujah, Jesus. This is my day. This is my day. Lord, I'm gonna walk in divine health. I'm gonna walk in divine healing. I'm gonna walk in the power of God. Lord, I'm putting, dear God, on the breastplate of righteousness. Lord, I'm putting on the helmet of salvation. I'm picking up the sword of the Spirit. Lord, I'm dressed. Lord, I've got the buckle of truth around my waist. Lord, I've got my feet fitted, dear God, with the gospel of peace. Lord, I'm ready today because there's hope in the word
of God. And Lord, as we pray through Isaiah 40, verse 31, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint. Father, in the name of Jesus, we speak this word over our lives. And we believe that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Today our strength is being renewed because we're
in the word. And Lord, not only are we in Isaiah, Lord, we're in Romans 15, verse 13. May the God of hope fill you. May the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace as you trust in Him. Father, I want to trust in you more. Lord, as we search you as brothers and sisters, as we lock down in prayer right now, we believe, dear God, the prayer of hope, the prayer of encouragement, the prayer of strength, Lord, the prayer of clarity, the prayer, dear God, of confidence, the prayer of joy, the prayer of renewal hope in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Spirit of the Lord is over our life today, Lord, and we are filled to the full measure of hope. Lord, we are filled to the full measure of your glory. Lord, sickness bows, fear bows.
Father, we thank you that the Holy Spirit is in us today like never before. Lord, we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. I pray that you will strengthen the listeners today. Lord, I pray that you will give them confidence to face today. Whatever their day looks like, if they have just woken up, open their heart, Lord, and let them know all is well because the King is with you. Whatever you face today, Jesus Christ is with you. Never give up until tomorrow. Stay in the Word.
